This section explains that in bonae fidei actions, if a party sues to obtain security before the payment is due, a condemnation is granted upon just cause.
[IDEM libro undecimo quaestionum.]
[THE SAME, Questions, Book XI.]
In omnibus bonae fidei iudicis,1 cum nondum dies praestandae pecuniae2 uenit, si agat aliquis ad interponendam cautionem,3 ex iusta causa condemnatio fit.
In all bonae fidei actions, when the day for paying the money has not yet come, if anyone sues for the provision of security, a condemnation is made upon just cause.
- 5.1.41.prIn omnibus bonae fidei iudicis
The manuscript reading iudicis is widely understood as a scribal error or spelling variant for iudiciis (ablative plural of the neuter noun iudicium), referring to "bona fidei actions". Reading it with the preposition in to mean "in all bonae fidei actions" is standard in legal Latin. If kept as iudicis (genitive singular of iudex), it would mean "in [the duty] of all judges of good faith", which is syntactically and semantically awkward.
- 5.1.41.prdies praestandae pecuniae
The gerundive praestandae agrees with the noun pecuniae in the genitive singular, together forming a genitive phrase modifying dies, meaning "the day for paying the money".
- 5.1.41.prad interponendam cautionem
The preposition ad governs the gerundive interponendam and its noun cautionem in the accusative singular to express purpose, meaning "to provide security" or "for the provision of security".
